BEAMS AUD NOTES.

The New York Times is concerned, ac-
cording to dispatch of this morning,
about the Pacific coast method of choosing
representatives of its interests. Like
other Eastern idealists, the Times follows
in the worn rut in criticising our methods
in politics. Probably they are not as pure
az angels robes at all times-human ma
ture out here is not different from human
nature on the Atlantic slope No one
apologies here more than there for the
evil ways of mankind, but the Times and
all the coterie of pessimists which joins in
the chorus about the rowdy West" will
find there are beams at home as well as
notes abroad, for removal. The undeni-
able records of political scandal in the En-
pire State and from the Hudson to the
Ohio, will disclose to the Times ample
fields for the exercise, near at home,
of all its best missionary efforts.
Our contemporary declares itself convicted
of the belief that only by the corrupt use
of money can high station be attained
upon the Pacific coast, but while we do not
care enough about it to confront the critic
with the proofs of the falsity of its sweep
ing assertion, we cannot refrain from point
ing to very recent instance, that of Hon.
William NJ. Stewart, who within but few
days has been selected to be United States
Senator from Nevada; vet he is poor

EASTERN CRITICISM.
A New York Journals View of the Sena-
tOrial Question.


tOrial Question.
New YORK, January 10th.-The Times, in
in an editorial headed 1.-The California
adopted in California to secure the seat in
the United States Senate now occupied by
Senator Williams, calls attention anew to
the weakness of the plan for electing Sena-
tors provided by the Constitution, and to
the necessity of some such scheme as that
recently adopted in Nebraska for giving
the people Of the State some power in the
choice of Senators who are to represent
them as communities. The use of money
to influence Legislatures is so common, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast, that it is well
understood nobody but a millionaire can
aspire to represent California or Nevada in
the Senate with any reasonable hope of
success. Mr.. Hearst who is the leading
candidate for the California seat, is openly
accused not only of furnishing money to
buy votes at the election of legislators,
but of standing ready to purchase
doubtful Legislators enough to give
him a majority vote in Joint session this
week. The price which this gentleman
will be called upon to pay for a seat in the
United States Senate is modestly estimated
at 100000. Cheap for the Pacific coast.
The time was in the good old bonanza days
when Scholarships ranged much higher in
the market. That such a scheme of open
and wholesale bribery can be reported in
the newspapers and commented upon with
out calling forth indignant protests all over
the land. is humiliating evidence that the
standard of public morality is not what it
once was. If United States Senators were
elected by the people, or under instructions
from the people by their legislators, an
asprant for seat would hardly attempt to
secure it by purchase. The contest now
going on in California, and which promises
to end in the purchase of seat in the SEN
ate, will set the people thinking seriously
whether the Nebraska idea of instructing
legislators how to vote for Senator, does
not offer remedy for one of the greatest
scandals incident to our popular system of
government

MILITIAMEN DISAPPOINTED.

England, Germany and Spain refuse to
permit a company OF American militia
men to exhibit themselves in their spic-
span new uniforms and FURNISHED arms
within the confines of those Kingdoms.
English, German or Spanish citizen-sol-
diery would probably encounter no such
difficulty in this country. Another dis
tinction is thus clearly marked between
monarchy and a republic. Here the DIFF
ference between the private and the officer
is not a social one; it begins and ends at
the uniform. But in England such equal
ity might lead up to social complications
that would develop into the offensive.
This is one of the reasons telegraphed for
refusing the Gate City Guard the privilege
of marching through the Fright tight lit
tie island" Besides it is in violation of
the traditional policy of monarchies to
permit any foreign armed bodies to tray
erse their soil. We can very well under
stand this and the reason for it. and the
Gate City Guard will better understand it
when they do visit Europe leaving their
muskets behind them. By very little in
quiry they might have spared themselves
the humiliation of the snub they have re-
ceived. 1t is in rather bad taste for them
to go to England as a uniformed body of
militia even unarmed. Their appearance
in uniform will be looked upon there as
an eccentricity only, and not secure them
any greater consideration. As it is evil
dent the nations to which they applied are
averse to the democratic demonstra-
ton the appearance of American citizen
soldiery would make in Europe, good taste
would dictate that they respect the preju-
dice and go, if so they must, in their
capacity as civilians.

A SAN JOSE contemporary states that it is
expected the great lenses of the Lick tele-
scope, when put in place in July next
will reveal plant life upon the planet
Mars, and asks off so, why not animal
life" Because it will not reveal plant
life. There is a great deal of misconcep-
ton about the power of great telescopes.
The Lick instrument, great as it is, and
larger and finer than any other in the
world, is not expected to accomplish any
such results as our contemporary anticl-
pates. All such speculations are visionary,
and have the authority of no student of
astronomy. Wider fields will be explored,
greater telescope area be available to the
eye at one time, greater light gathered
within the compass of the monster object
i've lens, and consequently astronomical re-
search be greatly aided, broadened and
luickened. But that any such revelations
as are limited at are to be made is absurd.
Ihe ne" luslruineHl Will lacIlitate astro-
nomical photography, and give to the
searching of the spectroscope new interest,
and result through it in new developments
unquestionably; but let no one be deceived
by the fiction that we are to look in upon the
domestic arrangements of any possible in
habitants of the nearer worlds swinging in
unmeasured space.

A Modern Canoe.

have heard of No. Is brogans, enormous
shoes, ETC., but it has just leaked out that
Gait takes the palm for big feet of any COM
munity in the State. II seems Webster
Lang, of this place, left for the swamp land
west of town on a duck hunting trip one
day this week. The gentleman wounded
duck and had lively chase to get it, and
in the race and excitement lost one of his
shoes. Night came on before the missing
shoe was found, and bright and early next
morning Mr.. Lang, with a party of friends,
started out to hunt it up. A long and
tedious search was made. and finally it was
thought advisable by the party to inquire
OF some boys who were hunting in a lake
close by, and sailing around in canoe, if
they had seen or heard tidings of the lost
shoe. The boys Immediately tackled for
shore, and when Mr.. Lang and party dis
covered that the object of their search had
been converted into canoe by the young
hunters they were much chagrined. and
the owner feels not little sore over the
matter

HAS THEIR COURAGE DEPARrED.u

1t is becoming the one interesting ques-
ton of the hour whether the people of
San Francisco have sufficient of the vigor
of "spunk" to enter even the commonest
protest against the acts of the street rail-
way strikers; the time has passed when
any physical action in resistance is to be
looked for. A complete reign of terror
has been successfully established by the
lawless and turbulent element. The
strikers announce that in few days they
will enter upon an entirely new and differ
emily planned Campaign" Campaign"
is certainly the exact word in the right
place. By the liberation accorded the
strikers in the use of dynamite and giant
powder, murderous iron bars and we'll
aimed pistols, they have assumed the atti-
tude of belligerents, with, however, the
novelty of no recognizable force opposed
to them, if we except here and there a
stray policeman.
